Matthew McConaughey Steps Up For Maui
"McConaughey’s are funding an emergency aid plane with @Baby2Baby that is filled with hundreds of thousands more emergency supplies that will have an immediate impact on children and families on Maui," they wrote in the video's caption. "Grateful we can help get these critical supplies to children and families who need it. If you would like to support relief efforts, please visit @baby2baby - @jklivinfoundation."
In the video, the father and son expressed their remorse for those who have lost their homes and loved ones. As of Thursday, the death toll had reached 111, becoming the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century.
"The fires over there have put so many people out of home and have taken so many lives. These people need to stabilize to stay alive," the 53-year-old actor stated. "Camila, myself, and Levi are working with this organization called Baby2Baby. They are working with partners that are on the ground in Maui right now saying, 'This is what people need right now. This is what the most needy people need.'"
Baby2Baby is a nonprofit organization that provides diapers, clothes, and other necessities for children in poverty in the Los Angeles area and in disaster areas across the United States. McConaughey continued: "If you'd like to help, check out Baby2Baby. See the work they're doing or any other way you can help. There's a lot of help that's needed."
Levi, who is just 15, added: "Yeah, they're going to need it for the long-term, so any way you guys can help, it's appreciated."
Baby2baby accepts donations via their website.
